I struggled for 14 weeks to understand the 2007 betting line patterns and I think I finally learned the favorites were the ones to take this year. I’ve gone 10-6 and 9-7 the last 2 weeks. That kind of prowess over a year would have earned me significant pool money. Alas, we have entered the Bermuda Triangle of the betting season. Well, actually it’s kind of like the preseason where you never know how much the stars will play and how well the back-ups will perform.
Picks
CAR (+10.5), CHI (+9), CLE (-3), IND (-7), DET (-4.5),
JAX (-13.5), NYG (-3), PHL (+3.5), ARI (-10), NE (-21.5),
TB (-7), SEA (-10), TEN (-9), MIN (-6.5), SD (-8.5)
Team 2 lost after a good fight to a hotter team. If I had remained the #1 seed by winning just one of my final 3 regular season games I would have made the finals. However I didn’t so I’m in the hunt for third place money and I am already doomed thanks to the Willie Parker leg break. It is very hard to believe that I could lead this league all year and am looking at the real possibility of not making any money.
Unbelievably the NFL regular season is down to 2 weeks! If you are still battling it out in a survivor league this week looks a little bit more difficult than most. Teams are starting to pack it in for the playoffs and some teams are packing up to go fishing as well. Plus key injuries and suspensions have affected many teams down the stretch. If you can’t go with the obvious choices this week, I would take New England, Seattle, Jacksonville and Indianapolis. If you need to take a chance on a lesser team, I would take Arizona, San Diego, Minnesota and Tennessee.
